Feedback

Feedback

Amy tweeted one of the original band members of the song. And she retweeted our work to her fans in hopes of getting some more feedback on our work.
I posted our video on Facebook to try get more feedback from some of our friends. We got positive feedback and some advice on how to improve our video from an ex student from Welling, which was helpful to improve the video.

This is some examples of Typography of what we want for our video. We wanted them to look bold and unique to keep in theme with the band's image.

Research in Album Poster

I choose these poster to post on my blog because each poster has a different style. Katy Perry's poster is of her first album and having her on the cover really establishes who the artist is. I also like the fact that it has the CD cover on here too so the audience will know which album is hers.
The poster is very bold and clear. I like this because of the colours and keeeping it simple but it works in making a statement and standing out from the rest of the posters. Having Lady Gaga on front would attract all her fans straight away. Having the small amount of colour however makes the poster more appealing and eye catching to the audience.
This poster is very well themed linking her CD cover with the poster. As Britney Spears is such a famous star already adding her face isn't necessary but having her name in bold letters grabs the audiences attention. Using Red on almost white background also makes the poster more bright and snappy. This also including her number one hit on here to advertise how popular the album is already and to make the audience want to buy the album and listen to more of her songs.

Typography used at the beginning of music videos

In this video is very Beetle Juice style, having colour writing in a sort of comic book style keeps in theme with the music video however the writing stands out and the positioning makes the audience read it to know who it is.
I have been looking at different typography's used on video at the beginning to help make a decision whether to add a style at the beginning of ours or keep it simple. Both ways are effective but however with this being the first song released with the 'Studded Roses' It would be best to keep it simple.

If the group were to become more successful we would consider using the logo of the band at the beginning of the video as it would make the audience instantly know who they are by a quick glimpse at the screen. Like in this image below Pussycat Dolls use this logo in a lot of their videos.

Feedback


When we presented our video to the class we were given feedback on how to improve our video. We were asked questions about what happened to the boy in the video and to break up the last section of the video. Taking on board their feedback we have decided to change it adding a few more clips with the boy at the end to make the story clearer as to what happened to him. We added the clips with the boy at the end as well to break up the crime board section like suggested.

Journal

The development we decided to add to the video has made things a little stressful with having to present our version to the class next lesson. However we have starting researching different typographys and photoshopping the words so the background becomes transparent on the shots.
Once we have decided what words to have the screen appear we will make them and have them over lapping and doubles over the shots.

Some of Typography

This is an example of the typography we would like to use in our music video. We want the words to over lap on the chorus and certain phrases.

Development of Video




We decided to develop our music video further by adding words. We thought of using different typography and having them over lap each other would make the video more advanced looking. Using Rihanna's Ya Do One video we were able to get ideas of how we would want ours to come out in the video.

We would like to try over lap words and have different typography with the shots. But only on key/repeated words.
